Tawny Owl chick(Credit: Peter Batchelor) Page | 3 Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Report of the Board of Trustees A message from our Chair of Trustees It is a real pleasure to contribute as Chair of the Board of Trustees at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust to this Annual Report and Accounts for the year to 31 March 2020. All that follows in this report summarises another strong year for the organisation but also one of transition and redoubling of our efforts to restore nature across our lovely Yorkshire landscapes and our part of The North Sea. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I commend this to you alongside our fantastic staff, great volunteers and our committed membership. During 2019/20 Yorkshire Wildlife Trust have been working in partnership to promote Yorkshire’s nature in living landscapes, living seas and to increasingly engage the growing interest that many within the public have with the environment. We have achieved some good things but there is much to do at a real time of uncertainty. As environmental legislation moves from mostly European to National to include agriculture, marine, climate crisis measures and wider greener policies we have been proactive. We have advocated for wide and strong policies and were really pleased to see the support from Yorkshire for progressive legislation for example on Marine Conservation Zones, and progression of nature recovery networks supported by land management scheme pilots. The uncertainty of withdrawal from the European Union was exacerbated significantly at the end of the year with the outbreak of Coronavirus. All of these issues have profound effects in future for the wider environment in which we operate. So, 2019/20 was a year of transition but also great achievement which gave us a very strong baseline to move into uncharted times in 2020/21 with resilience and clear ambition for the future. We were delighted to welcome our new Chief Executive, Rachael Bice who has settled in well and guided a strong Senior Leadership Team through a year where we: • Opened Ripon City Wetlands a fantastic new reserve created in partnership with Aggregate Industries for the local community. • Hosted The Wildlife Zone at Castle Howard Countryfile Live. • Defended Askham Bog with 7,500 others by contesting plans for a housing development too near the Site of Special Scientific Interest, also our founding very special nature reserve. • Influenced and welcomed the designation of several Marine Conservation Zones in our part of The North Sea. • Continued amazing progress with Yorkshire Peat Partnership including an Appeal which raised over £70,000. • Influenced and started to deliver new programmes of community engagement within schools and Black and Asian Minority Ethnic Communities. • Reviewed and progressed our partnership working across Yorkshire to build a wider alliance for the future. • Held a brilliant staff conference themed on values - courage was the one that really came through. In our Strategic Report you will find many examples of the inspiring conservation, partnership and engagement work we have been doing and I thank her, Directors and all the staff, supported by our great volunteers and generous members for continuing to achieve great things in a tough and uncertain environment. We have used this year to refresh and clarify our plans and priorities and we will be redoubling our efforts to link up places for nature, in partnership nationally, across the north and in iconic Yorkshire. We look forward to working with all partners as restrictions lift during 2020/21 to allow public full enjoyment of nature, wildlife and their engagement with all those things in Yorkshire. Page | 4 Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Report of the Board of Trustees Finally, I would like to give my thanks and very best wishes to Caroline Thorogood who left the organisation after sixteen very successful years and to Hugh Williamson who also stepped down as Honorary Treasurer at the end of 2019/20. My very best wishes to all in creating an even wilder, more iconic Yorkshire in future as part of wider recovery in future. Professor Mike Cooke CBE Chair Page | 5 Yorkshire Wildlife Trust Report of the Board of Trustees - Strategic Report Our changing context It is a privilege to be writing my first strategic report for Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, and to report to you what has been achieved in the past year which now seems so long ago and in a world quite different to today. This report accounts for activity from April 2019 up until the end of March 2020, a period within which the Trust undertook a significant transition, as its leadership changed. I have been extremely heartened by the support I have received since my arrival in September 2019 from staff, Trustees and partners to welcome me at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. I am also incredibly grateful for all of the previous work which has gone before, creating the Trust we have today. Although 2019/20 did see some significant changes, the 19/20 financial year reflects the relative normality we enjoyed pre-COVID-19. Looking forward, this will undoubtedly impact on our activities. This report focusses on our achievements during the past year, with an indication towards our future evolution, as we continue to support Yorkshire’s wildlife, people and wild places.

Humberhead Levels Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper,1 Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention,3 we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas North (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which East follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. Yorkshire & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform West their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a East landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage Midlands broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will West also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Midlands East of Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features England that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each London area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental South East Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. South West The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • River Torne Catchment 2019/20
    River Torne Catchment 2019/20 Jamie McEwan 2 | P a g e Executive summary A series of 'Aspirational projects' have been developed by the Torne Catchment partnership over a number of meetings. This document addresses the need to be able to summarise potential projects by their multiple benefits, costs and relevance to available funding. True to the Catchment based approach it allows us to work effectively together combining resources to progress projects from an idea and enable the effective delivery of WFD and multiple benefits for the catchment. Developed by the partnership this document provides a list of projects summarising the relative contributions each project makes towards WFD funding themes and the partnership aims. It also provides a more detailed overview for each project outlining the status, lead partner, management and location of each project alongside its relevance to the funding themes and estimated cost. Within project descriptions further detail can be found for project justification, next steps for progress, and context. Appended is a blank project template detailing how partners can go about putting forward a new idea to be considered as a project for the catchment. Through partnership review and reporting this becomes a live document and process to help support a shared vision, clarity of purpose and the ability of the partnership to act fast on relevant opportunities. Ultimately this document will be an effective way of allowing all members of the partnership to contribute toward the development of the catchment. A project idea from its beginning can be brought forward to the partnership and its progress tracked to completion eventually forming a portfolio for the Torne Catchment partnership as well as an active and aspirational document.

The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B. Jefferson in his history of Thirsk in 1821, Edmund Bogg in his various histories of the Vale of Mowbray and Mary Watson in her Topcliffe Book in the late 1970s.

  • The Phosphorus Content of Fluvial Sediment in Rural and Industrialized River Basins
    Water Research 36 (2002) 685–701 The phosphorus content of fluvial sediment in rural and industrialized river basins Philip N. Owens*, Desmond E. Walling Department of Geography, School of Geography & Archaeology, University of Exeter, Amory Building, Rennes Drive, Exeter, Devon EX4 4RJ, UK Received 3 August 2000; received in revised form18 April 2001; accepted 9 May 2001 Abstract The phosphorus content of fluvial sediment (suspended sediment and the o63 mmfraction of floodplain and channel bed sediment) has been examined in contrasting rural (moorland and agricultural) and industrialized catchments in Yorkshire, UK. The River Swale drains a rural catchment with no major urban and industrial areas, and the total phosphorus (TP) content of fluvial sediment is generally within the range 500–1500 mggÀ1. There is little evidence of any major downstream increase in TP content. In contrast, fluvial sediment from the industrialized catchments of the Rivers Aire and Calder exhibits both higher levels of TP content and marked downstream increases, with values of TP content ranging from o2000 mggÀ1 in headwater areas upstreamof the mainurban and industrial areas, to values >7000 mggÀ1 at downstreamsites. These elevated levels reflect P inputs frompoint sources, such as sewage treatment works (STWs) and combined sewer overflows. The influence of STWs is further demonstrated by the downstream increase in the inorganic P/organic P ratio from o2 in the headwaters to >4 in the lower reaches. Comparison of the P content of suspended sediment with that of the o63 mmfraction of potential source materialssuggests that topsoil from upland moorland/pasture and from cultivated areas, and channel bank material are likely to be the main sources of particulate P (PP) in the River Swale and in the headwaters of the Rivers Aire and Calder.

  • Part 1 Rea Ch Classifica Tion
    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.
